Receives the praise of Mrs. Landy Lee. A Groceryman's wife, E. Jefferson St., Tipton, Ind. I have been afflicted with systemic catarrh for years. I had become a physical wreck. I had stomach and kidney trouble with gravel of the kidney; was suffering severely with my kidneys, was very nervous and was habitually constipated; also had x severe headaches; my health was so poor and I was so weakened down, that I was not able at all times to do my own work; my circulation was also very poor. During the time I was taking the first six bottles of Natura I did not improve much as I suffered considerably from the gravel dissolving and passing off; my suffering was in my sides from my kidneys to my bladder. I have now used about two dozen bottles of Natura and I am In fine health: no stomach trouble, no headaches, kidneys are ding fine; I am gaining in flesh, my circulation Is good, I am doing my own work and I heartily recommend Natura as a dependable medicine for anyone in poor health.
